He held three separate commentary stints, from 1984-88, 2010-11 and 2016-present, and was appointed National Talent Manager in 2010.

Chappell has worked closely with Australia's junior talent and was team manager of the Cricket Australia XI in its short inclusion in the domestic 50-over competition.

Along with his work in cricket, Chappell has raised more than $400,000 through his charity, the Greg Chappell Foundation, which aims to help homeless youth in Australia.

Aussies in box seat after late drama

Chappell's upcoming departure has seen two national selectors step down in the past 12 months; himself and former head coach Darren Lehmann, who resigned in the wake of the ball-tampering scandal in Cape Town.

Lehmann had indicated he was not going to renew his contract that also expired at the end of this year's Ashes in England.
